IMO C

well i am very bad at sc but i will to make an honest attempt....

my first logic is more is used in Original s/c as an adj and hence cannot modify an adverb(rapidly)..hence all choices with more rapidly is wrong..that eliminates A,B and Dleft is C and E .in E there is a comparison error

A- Transferred - Past Tense, it is slow- Present Tense. Hence not parallelB- "Unlike the slow process......, the rapid process...." not mentioned. Hence again not parallelD- Last part of the sentence "...more rapidly when it is warmer", here we do not know "it" refers to air or waterE- "When" does not refer to any time- awkward and wordy. Also not parallel. Slowly/ rapidly is mentioned as slowly/ more rapid

Actually IT refers to heat transferred. But you pinpointed the problem with that.

I think you mean that in THIS CONTEXT transferring heat is not correct. You can use transferring heat correctly [/quote]

OA after discussion. Please elaborate your answer.

C IMO.

A. Whereas heat transferred between the ocean and the atmosphere occurs more rapidly when the ocean is warmer than the air, it is slow when the ocean is colder.

"it" appears to refer to the air when "it" should refer to "heat transferred between the ocean and the atmosphere".

B. Unlike the slow process of heat transfer between the ocean and the atmosphere when the ocean is colder than the air, heat transfers more rapidly when the ocean is warmer.

I feel like the part after the comma should be something more like ", when the ocean is warmer the process of heat transfer occurs more rapidly."

C. The transfer of heat between the ocean and the atmosphere is slow when the ocean is colder than the air and more rapid when the ocean is warmer.

Seems perfect to me.

D. Transferring heat between the ocean and the atmosphere occurs slowly when the ocean is colder than the air and more rapidly when it is warmer.

"it" appears to refer to air instead of ocean.

E. When the ocean is colder than the atmosphere, heat transferred between them occurs slowly, unlike the more rapid transfer occurring when the ocean is warmer.

i luv to learn from my mistake

can you elaborate? Do you mean that you cannot use more with rapidly?

rapidly is an adverb and more is an adj as per rule an adj can never modify an adverb , it can only modify a nounhence more being a noun modifier is correctly modifying rapid a noun in C and Ewhile in E there is a comparison error....therefore C is the best

I think that more can be an adjective or an adverb, so you can write I run more quickly than my brother and it is fine.

I think in this sentence it refers to the heat transferred .... When you have a parallel structure such as Whereas X, Y, While X,Y, Because X,Y, etc if there is a pronoun at the beginning of Y refers to the subject of X, as long as both agree in number and gender.

If you remove the modifiers from the sentence

Whereas heat occurs more rapidly when the ocean is warmer than the air, it is slow when the ocean is colder

The main problem is that it is not heat what occurs more rapidly or is slow but rather the transfer of the heat. You can eliminate options A and E based on this.
